SHOEWHORE SUNDAY
I'M OFFICIALLY OFF THE WAGON
It's sad but true ... I've been so busy, I haven't even bought shoes. That's the equivalent of a crack addict going cold turkey, ladies and gentlemen. There was twitching, screaming, vomiting, shaking ... not a pretty sight to say the least. But, finally, I have embraced my addiction once more. For a life without new shoes, is no life at all, I say.
So say hi to my latest fix, these strappy, fun, and unique Luichiny sandals called Marie. The leather straps are comic-book inspired, making you feel like a super hero. I love that the graffiti continues on the 4-inch heel, and how the bold colored sole makes everything "pop!"
They look fabulous with jean or white capris and a bold colored top. I'm telling you, these shoes have attitude, and you will too when you wear them. Check them out at Zappos for $114 and have them on your porch waiting for you the next day so you don't have to wait long for your shoe high.
If the Marie's are a little hard-core for you, Luichiny also has some other options you may enjoy. These Soleil's for example, are perfect for summer and would look great with that little dress.
The 4-inch heel may seem high, but the sole is padded to add some comfort - and besides - you'll look so sexy, who cares?
Available in this gorgeous fuchsia, yellow, white and black, the toughest choice you'll have is which one? Cost: $100.
And finally, for the thriftier addict, Luichiny has these versatile and flirty Melody sandals for $73. With a 4-1/4 inch heel, and a floral or butterly-themed sole, they are perfect for the season and come in gold, lavendar, and black. Ohh-la-la.
I don't know about you ... but being bad just feels soooooo GOOOOOD. I don't know why I ever stopped!
You know that your widgetbucks shoe ad thing is showing ads for ugg boots and birkenstocks, right? Maybe you should look into that...
And damn those are pretty. I couldn't wear them, but they are pretty.
I am on the hunt for a pair of knee high boots with no heel, so I can wear them and skirts rather than having to buy maternity wear.

ohmigod I would SO want the shoes with comic art on them, if I had pretty feet. But I don't. I'll just have to keep drawing on my chucks with fabric paint markers.

vomiting at the sight of the uggs but swooning at the heels! Ooooh I need me a shoe fix.

Do you wear the comic super hero shoes to work?

Oh, if only I could sail in heels!! (well, I COULD, right up until I kill myself). Those are gorgeous.
And you are missed! I hope that whatever in life has you otherwise occupied lets you come back soon :)

Finally we agree on something; gladiator shoes are fugly
And I still can't seem to get my head around the fact that guitar god, Carlos Santana designs women's shoes. It seem so...Oye Como Va. With hot sauce and refried beans.

Don't knock Carlos! I think it's a refreshing change for a guy who isn't a screeching queer to design sexy shoes for women. He LOVES women (maybe that's why his wife got fed up after 30 years), and knows what men like to see. That sounds like a match made in heaven. And besides, he's just cool. The only problem I have with Carlos Santana designing shoes is that I can't look at a pair of them without "Black Magic Woman" playing in my head.
